Voleo sam jednu zenu
Era Ojdanic · Other Songs - Era Ojdanic
crne kose i plavih ociju
to je moja ljubav bila
sto je gnezdo u mom srcu svila
Ref. 2x
Jesen place u liscu jablana
lisce pada po nasim stazama
suza nema, presakle su davno
lik njen nosim u ocima stalno
Kako juce, tako danas
gori vatra u grudima mojim
ni sam ne znam da li bez nje
kao covek na svetu postojim
Ref. 2x
U tisini noci stojim
s' tugom gledam u prozore njene
nosim zelju duse svoje
samo da joj vidim oci snene
Ref. 2x

As a staple of Ojdanić's discography, the song reflects the era's emphasis on storytelling through music, capturing the emotional resonance of everyday life and courtship. Its enduring popularity underscores the artist's ability to craft anthems that resonate across linguistic and cultural boundaries within the former Yugoslavia, cementing her status as a leading figure in the genre's evolution.
